TikTok influencer Fiona Ryan has been convicted of anti-Semitic videos

Victim impact statements were read from former Wilton town councilor Alexandra Boyd, who is Jewish, who said she stepped down from her role because the material posted by Ryan “shattered my sense of security” and “made me left me feeling vulnerable and targeted.”

The court also heard from Ryan’s neighbors who said the constant playing of a song about antisemitism – sung to the tune of ‘If you’re happy and you know it’ – made them “feel angry and disgusted”.

They added that Ryan’s behavior made them “fear for their lives”.

Ryan, of Laverstock Road, told the court she had been “bullied” for posting the content.

She was also sentenced to 20 weeks of rehabilitation and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £154 and prosecution costs of £650.
